There’s two schools of thought about whether you bed the entire action or just do it at two points. My personal opinion is that two point bedding is more stable and if the stock does develop a twist or a bend there will be less or no torsional stress applied to the action. Perhaps with a high quality, high dollar fiberglass stock it doesn’t matter? I only have walnut stocks so I think, for my application, the two point bedding is what makes sense. I think a cheaper plastic stock would certainly qualify for a two point bedding.
i wonder how many flipped their rifle over and their barreled action fell out? great video though that bedding is prestine and now i know i needed to polish the wax off. Thank you sir
![[VIDEO 1 of 4] BEDDING A RIFLE WITH ROBERT GRADOUS](/img/1.gif)
Man, my new favorite, generous Gunsmith. Gone too soon. My best to his family. I'm sure he knew the value of his time.
Dang never seen a bedding video where the smith turns it upside down without the screws in. That's insane precision on a bed job. Nice work.
He was definitely one of the best! People all over the country knew Robert.
Love watching real craftsmanship. Thanks.
your camera man sounds like Darth Vader breathin, LOL
RIP Bob, great to see the magic again!
Wow. The knowledge being shared here is amazing.
Thanks for sharing this. Love to see all your videos.
Robert died yesterday. Very sad. Rest peace, Mr. Gradous
